Kevin Carter was part of tightly knit band of white South African photojournalists known as "The Bang Bang Club" - four friends who found their calling in teh war-revange black township, where apartheid was coming to a violent close. They were adrenaline junkies on a courageous mission: to get the picture. At any cost. [after: http://www.kevincarterfilm.com/index.html]

Kevin Carter commited suicide, because he couldn't magage with war-trauma-memories. When he was taking pictures, he had to "think visually". He was awarded with Pulitzer Prize in 1994. More about "The Life and Death of Kevin Carter" you can read here:
